Mass Producing Christmas Cards - 12 Detailed Cards in 40 Minutes

[@francesfaulkner6829]

I already have in October the Christmas cards for one of the nursing homes I sent to, the one's I'm going to send and then I have three more nursing homes I'm sending cards to. It's about 400 cards all together. Such fun and using up a pile of card stock I inherited from other card makers who went to that big craft room in the sky.

[@wendywilson1736]

That alignment trick is a godsend!! I'd heard about it a few years ago, and ohmygoodness!! My We R memories keeper stamp press is a game changer in itself.

[@judyharmon4586]

I make 60 cards each month for my Encouragement list; but at Christmas, I end up making 200+ cards. Like you, I love following an "assembly line" process. Although I have many punches, this was new from you to me 😁 What a game-changer!! My dimensional get cut in half; just "frugal", I guess 🤗 Thank you SOOO much for sharing these tips and techniques! 😘❤️x

[@judysouthern4458]

I never make one card at a time. If i see a card i like, i make one initially. If it’s a keeper, I cut enough supplies for 10 or 20 of them, adding different sentiments.

[@reneev1438]

Awesome! I love how you used the piercer to pick up the dimensional *and* remove the backing! Very clever! I use my fingernail and press down on the center of the dimensional which causes it to lift, then I’m able to finish peeling it off with either my fingers or tweezers. I will definitely be trying your way! Thank you!

[@charlirobinson1548]

Beautiful cards!! I Liked the cards without the greeting over the deer best, tho. I liked your "assembly line" cutting, putting together. I very seldom make duplicates ... which takes me longer, of course! I and three friends made 154 Christmas cards for the residents in our local Veterans Home for several years. My friends each made the same card in their batch. Not sure why I made my grouping more difficult with each card different but I did! Silly me! I also have several great grandchildren and their parents, my grand children, and friends that I make "special" cards for at Christmas . I try to make their card one that reflects them as when I buy their gifts. They all save their cards in scrapbooks that I gave them a few years ago.

[@handmakewithlove]

That's wonderful, thanks so much for watching Charli 🙂

[@wendywilson1736]

Thank you! Why I never thought of putting my extra special cards in a scrapbook is beyond me. I have scrapbooked, with photos, and travel tidbits. But I need to add cards we've received, especially from family&friends that are no longer here.

[@janieb7319]

Thank you for sharing your wisdom and creativity. I make cards for the Veterans at Christmas, have over 300 ready now. This mass production will help me put out even more. Thank you from the Veterans also.

[@handmakewithlove]

Wonderful, thanks so much Janie!

[@brendaelainewaddell1682]

Hi Anna. While all your tips were helpful, I especially loved the punching and stamping with the stamparatus trick. Another trick of mine is not to become overwhelmed with having to complete them all in a day. I just take my time and methodically do one complete step before I move onto the next step in the process. Thanks so much as always. 😊🇨🇦

[@handmakewithlove]

Great idea, thanks for sharing!

[@cynthiaakacyndsmith6539]

My first time visiting you. Yes I subscribed and hit the bell for notifications. I used to make and send out about 145 cards at Christmas. I only do about 30 these days. This is truly sad. For me. I am just not as active. I ought to build my list again more!

[@karenneuman6039]

This was so very helpful! Thank you so much and you gave me lots of new ideas. Your cards were beautiful.

[@handmakewithlove]

Thank you Karen!

[@kathybradley8315]

All great tips and beautiful cards. I need to use my Stamparatus more often and this is a good start!

[@handmakewithlove]

Thank you Kathy!

[@Marie0350]

I absolutely love your designs !.. Blessings & T4S 😘🙏🏽💯👏🏽✅

[@shawnsmith3335]

Anna, this was really an awesome video in several ways. Not only do I mass produce Christmas cards, but I often mass produce other cards for various charities. The funniest place I ever found a dimensional backing was in the dryer. I'm guessing it went through the washer first as well.

[@peniandrews165]

thanks for these designs, I love all of them. I have some vellum and never used it, think I will try it, thanks. have the paper set, need to get busy.

[@debbik4794]

I send 120 Valentine cards and try to make them over a month or two, thanks I'll be using some of your suggestions, but I rarely make any the same.

[@sherrilbjalexander2856]

Thanks a bunch! I am enjoying the lines on my trimmer! 8-)

[@handmakewithlove]

I'm so glad to hear they are helping you!

Wonderful! 😊

Hi Thank you for the Lovely cards....Blessings from NC

[@handmakewithlove]

Thanks for watching Audrey!

[@ycwalker52]

I use my Stamparatus the same way as you do when stamping multiple images. The one thing I do different is instead of using a template of card stock, I cut my template from masking paper. It sticks great, and when I’m done, I put the backing on, and put it in the stamp case. That way, I have it for next time. Your cards are nice, you definitely have a good start on the holidays.

I am glad I found you. Great ideas, tips, and tricks. Will have to try the pop up idea to remove the paper backs. It would be so much easier. Thanks

well, I don't see a video about marking your cutter in your Tips and Tricks Playlist. It would be so helpful if you'd give us a link.

I live in the UK and would like to know where I could get the ink pads you are using and also the punch and stamp sets? I'm having trouble with my cricut to mass produce the toppers and this seems such a quicker process. Many thanks.

[@janieb7319]

She is using Stampin Up supplies. She has a list under the video of where they can be purchased.

[@HappyBeeDebz]

@@janieb7319 Thank you for pointing this out to me again, but this is from the USA. Can you purchase these in the UK and, if so, can you advise where from, especially the punch sets and stamps? Thanks again.

[@handmakewithlove]

Hello :) If you use this link, you can click at the top to find a Stampin Up demonstrator near you. Good luck! www.stampinup.uk/

[@gail020759]

Where please can I find all your dimensions in print? Also, how do you deal with the insides of these cards that are the darker card stock? Thank you!!

[@handmakewithlove]

Hi Gail, for the insides I cut 4"x5 1/4" white cardstock to attach inside. Here is a link for where I posted dimensions www.scrappingstampingandstuff.com/mass-producing-christmas-cards/

I can’t get my seal to start.

[@handmakewithlove]

Use your finger to roll it back a little bit. The adhesive isn't at the tip when you get it.

[@judysouthern4458]

@@handmakewithlove hmmm… I will try that. I also had another person attempt to get it going and she couldn’t either. 🤷‍♀️. I’ve also seen some demos use it upside down? Is that a better way to get it going?

[@rosevest2513]

Make a variety of cards. Make at least four a month.

[@handmakewithlove]

That's great. Thanks for watching!

Sorry not what i would class as nice Christmas cards.
